Looks to me that Bush is teetering on an acceptance of the fact that the US military is stretched far too thin as it is. Not only that I really believe that he is afraid of further military action albeit his further rhetoric that the US "reserves all options to defend our friends in the region." (China has a HUGE military, much larger than the US. Why would they need the US?)
Pres. Bush called Wednesday for stiff sanctions on North Korea for its reported nuclear test. In a Rose Garden news conference, Bush said the United States "reserves all options to defend our friends in the region, and .
"remains committed to diplomacy. He also said that the "United States has "no intention of attacking" the reclusive regime."It didn't work in the past. ... I learned a lesson from that. You have a better diplomatic hand with others sending the message," Bush said.
He supports a resumption of six-way talks among North Korea, South Korea, China, Russia, Japan and the United States.
